LUMBER-TRANSPORTI-NG DEVICE.

Application tiled .T111y 26, 1922. Serial No. 577,874.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LnoN NORDSTRM, a. citizen of the King-dom of Sweden.Y residingr at Stockholm. Sweden, have invented nen7 porting Devies, of which the following is a specioation.

The present invention relates to an im- Drovement in such transporting devices for bv Carriers on two or more endless chains arranged side by side. According to the invention the seid carriers are formed as hooks the one part ot which is substantially par- 1 allel with the path of the chains and of such length that the lumber een rest thereon when the hooks are turned downwards while the hooks when turned upwards reach a clistance. above the upper surface of a trans- 1 portingr table arranfred in the usual manner above the chains. Both the upper and the lower` Dart of the chains thus can serve to more the lumber. this heine: ot' great advantage in surh hunher sorting; devices in which L the unsorted lumber is ted to the transportf ing devine at dillerent places and then transported to the one end thereof for beine; sorted and then carried to the various collooting places.

In the accompanying drawingr I have shown one embodiment of my invention.

Figure 1 shows o. side View of-a transporting device of the lrlnd set forth above and Fig. EZ shows a plan view thereof.

i and useful Improvements in Lumber-Translumber or the like in which the lumber is fed As isevident from the drawingl some of the links of the transportingv chain l are formed as hoolfs 2 which in the upper portion of the chain reach e distance above a usual vsubstantially horizontal transporting table 3 to which the lurnher is teo-iu :inv well lmown manner. The lumber 4 is moved on the table hv the hooks 2 which serve as carriers to the one end oi" the transporting: device Where it is pushed off onto a well known sorting; table (not shown) on which it is sort-ed in the usual manner, and thereupon placed on the hooks et the lov'er portion of the chain in order lo be carried to the various oollectinpj places.

Having' now described my invention what I Claim is.

In a transporting device for lumber the Combination of a. substantiallv horizontal transporting table. endless chains arranged side byr side helow said t-rangnortin` f tabla` and carrier hooks attached to said Chains. the hoolrs in the upper nortiozl. of earth Chain reaching' a distance shove the said transportine' table, a portion of nach hool; being substantially parallel With the path of the chains and of such length that the lumber can rest thereon when the hooks are turned downrverds. substantially as and Jfor the nurpose set forth.

In testimony.Y whereof I have signed my name. n
